Chapter 373 I have made up my mind to return to the Xia Dynasty!

After exploring around, Gu Dan returned to the place where the people of Ping'an Village were.

Following his return, a group of people knelt down and kowtowed on the ground.

In fact, many of them knew Gu Dan. After Zhuang Sheng passed away, Gu Dan often went to the village to give lectures and teach, and was considered half the village chief.

Later, when that batch of students grew up, Gu Dan came less and less often.

Knowledge can be passed on. Once knowledge is passed on, many things no longer need to be done personally.

After all, Ping'an Village is a small place and nothing big can happen there. It is more than enough for someone with some ability and no selfish motives to manage it.

In addition, Gu Dan has actually been in Ping'an Village for quite a few years, so it is no mistake to say that he is highly respected. Occasionally, when he has free time, he will go around the village, and many people will greet him with a smile.

Many people even grew up under the watchful eyes of Gu Dan, but they just don't know it.

But today, after he displayed his power, those who originally thought he was amiable were now constantly bowing their heads and praising him as the Immortal Master.

The difference in power was like a chasm that clearly separated them.

Gu Dan naturally became their life-saving straw.

Gu Dan would naturally not resist something like saving people.

He had no idea how many times he would secretly save people whenever he encountered one, but he just didn't show it in public. Especially since these were the people of Ping'an Village who he had almost watched grow up, he would definitely save them if he could.

Although he was bowed to and thanked in this way, Gu Dan did not feel much joy in his heart.

It’s not that saving people is a bad thing, but Gu Dan knows that in the eyes of these people, he and they are no longer from the same world.

There was already a thick barrier between them.

"Have a good rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."

After a moment's silence, Gu Dan raised his hands to help the person who was kneeling up, then turned and walked into the gentle night.

The effect of his return is undoubtedly obvious.

The people of Ping'an Village felt reassured. Since the immortal had returned, he would not leave again, and why would he mention tomorrow?

After feeling that their lives were secured, their exhausted bodies after traveling for most of the day finally could not hold on any longer, and most people quickly lay down on the ground to rest, using the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed.

Only a petite figure hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Gu Dan.

Not long after, by the river, she saw the immortal who was wearing a black robe. He was obviously very young, but was called "Grandpa" by the elders in the village.

He clearly didn't turn around, but he seemed to have seen her and asked, "Why don't you go to bed?"

The little girl took out something wrapped in a lotus leaf from her sleeve, walked to Gu Dan, and said in a playful and cautious voice, "You eat it."

"Um?"

Gu Dan finally turned around and saw the piece of meat wrapped in the lotus leaf.

It can be seen that her grilling skills are not very good. There is a very obvious black spot, and some places are already charred. It should be that the little girl grilled it herself.

The little girl looked only eight or nine years old, and it was not easy for her to roast a piece of meat. She probably roasted it secretly, otherwise she wouldn't have to hide it in her sleeves.

“Good craftsmanship.”

Taking it over, Gu Dan was not polite. He lowered his head, took a bite, chewed it, and praised, "It's hard to get, it's delicious."

Summer nights are not cold, nor are they as hot as during the day. A warm breeze blows between heaven and earth, falling on people's bodies, gentle and pleasant, going straight into the heart.

In this moment of disaster, not everything is so bad.

"You hunted this prey."

The little girl watched Gu Dan eat it and received praise. Her eyes narrowed into crescents and she had a dimple when she smiled.

"Your name."

Gu Dan thought for a moment, "Mu Lan, right?"

"yes!"

The little girl nodded repeatedly, puffed out her chest, and said proudly: "That's my nickname! My full name is Li Mulan!"

Thanks to Zhuang Sheng's previous teachings, Ping'an Village has escaped the vicious circle of giving cheap names, otherwise this little guy's name would probably not be very nice.

"ha"

Hearing these childish words, Gu Dan couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand and pinched her slightly chubby face, saying, "We still have to travel tomorrow. Are you afraid?"

“Don’t be afraid!”

The little girl shook her head. Although she was very young, she had an open-mindedness and confidence that adults did not have. "Daddy and Mommy are here. I'll go wherever they go!"

"good."

Gu Dan nodded gently, "Then go and rest quickly, and remember not to run around at night."

"Goodbye, Brother Immortal."

Li Mulan waved to him and skipped away, with her two ponytails swaying behind her, without a trace of sadness or anxiety on her face.

"Brother Immortal."

Gu Dan smiled at the strange name and finished the unhealthy barbecue in his hand.

Even Gu Dan's slightly irritable mood improved a lot.

"That damned Taoist master has practiced for who knows how many years to reach his current level. I am only over a hundred years old, so there is no need to underestimate myself. Even if I cannot outlast him with the passage of time, I will always find an opportunity to break through the Conferred God List.

After all, I am more tolerant of mistakes than any other monk."

After finishing the barbecue, Gu Dan put the lotus leaves back into the river. Looking at the wrinkled lotus leaves still floating on the water, his mood gradually calmed down.

He didn't necessarily want to kill the Taoist master, he just didn't want to be controlled by others.

Even Venerable Bai Lian could take advantage of the opportunity of the Jedi Heavenly Passage to secretly try to sneak into the Deity Realm, so it seems that the List of Gods is not omnipotent.

With his long lifespan, he would have no problem finding opportunities to test the flaws of the [Investiture of the Gods] left by the Taoist master, so he didn't need to scare himself.

While thinking, Gu Dan felt two powerful blood energies approaching rapidly. One person's blood energy had reached the master's level, while the other's aura was extremely strong, and they were both outliers among the masters.

Gu Dan revealed a little bit of his aura, and two figures leaped and approached this place rapidly.

"Uncle Kong!"

"Mr. Kong!"

Two figures quickly approached. As a grandmaster, his chest was heaving uncontrollably. It seemed that he had not stopped all the way.

"Did a dragon flip over on your side as well?"

Gu Dan glanced around and noticed the expressions on their faces, and he knew what was going on.

"That's right. Jin has suffered a great disaster. The casualties among the people are incalculable. I don't know how much good farmland has been destroyed by this natural disaster. It is almost autumn. This disaster..."

Zhuang Yun frowned, feeling extremely anxious.

Ever since he became a martial artist, he often went out to do justice.

It happened that the king of Jin, who had just taken office not long ago, issued an order to recruit talents. The reason was naturally that a large number of officials in the country died suddenly in one day.

The vacant position can be temporarily filled by others, but truly virtuous people are hard to find.

Zhuang Yun ran over to take a look because he had heard rumors that countless corrupt officials in Jin State were killed in one day and countless people suffering from illness were cured.

Unexpectedly, he got along quite well with the king of Jin State, and after a few visits, he was appointed to an official position in Jin State.

After all, after doing good deeds for so long, one would want to change his taste, and saving the world and the people is what a real man should do.

After being promoted to Grandmaster, he received great hospitality from the King of Jin, who almost became his sworn brother. Zhuang Yun was finally able to demonstrate his own value and live up to his martial arts knowledge, as well as the guidance of his father and even Gu Dan.

As a result, he was working very hard and saw the State of Jin gradually grow from a weak and bullied country to a strong and prosperous one.

This sudden and massive earth-dragon upheaval wiped out more than ten years of efforts by the King of Jin and even Zhuang Yun's hard work.

The casualties could be put aside at this time, after all, death was death, but what about the damaged farmland and diverted rivers caused by the earthquake? Faced with this level of change in the world, mortals were like ants, with no way to resist.

Even a master can only stare blankly.

"As I walked along, I realized that the scope of this earthquake was beyond imagination. There is no record of earthquakes of this magnitude in history! I even thought the earth was going to turn over!"

Fu Suxin added on the side, with deep surprise and a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Of course there is no record of it. After all, few people can survive such a thing as the Jedi Tiantong."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There was a cold light flashing in Gu Dan's eyes. Even Venerable Bai Lian was only relying on the incomplete Dao Fruit and reincarnated through Huang Chao's body. He was half a step away from becoming a god and was so miserable. Not to mention the others. Who else could hold on?

"What I'm going to say next is very important, so you must listen carefully."

Gu Dan did not offer any consolation, but instead warned in a serious tone, "The shackles of heaven and earth have been opened, and the changes in the mountains and rivers are probably due to this. I don't know how long or how many times this drastic change will last.

But I can tell you with certainty that the spirit has returned."

"The spirit energy is returning?"

Fu Suxin and Zhuang Yun looked at each other with deep shock in their eyes, and asked quickly, "Why didn't we notice it?"

"The spiritual energy is still extremely thin now, but it is endless and continuously emerging. It is normal that you cannot sense it for the time being.

I have every reason to suspect that this incident is not the end, but a new beginning. In other words, this kind of thing may not be the only one to happen in the mortal world."

Gu Dan took a deep breath and said, "When the spiritual energy in the world becomes dense enough, the era of cultivating immortals will come. These things in front of us may just be appetizers."

"This is an appetizer?!"

Zhuang Yun's voice became much higher. How many people were killed by this incident?

How many more people will starve to death?

Without even seeing a real immortal with his own eyes, Fan Chen was slapped twice.

If a few more ruthless attacks come, I’m afraid most of the human race will be wiped out!

Executioners and demons would bow their heads and kneel down in shame when they saw such methods.

Is this about cultivating immortality or destroying the world? "Don't use your own ideas to speculate on the immortals who are so high up."

Gu Dan reminded: "The rules followed in the mortal world are generally not binding at all for immortals."

“.”

For a moment, Zhuang Yun was speechless.

But he was no longer a child after all. After so many years of ups and downs, he had become a master. His mind was naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. He immediately asked, "What should we do?"

"It's you."

Gu Dan reminded again: "I'm leaving."

"ah?!"

Zhuang Yun's face was filled with shock.

Even Fu Suxin widened her eyes in surprise.

This guy who is too lazy to even leave Ping'an Village is actually leaving?

"You have places you need to protect, and I have places I need to protect."

Gu Dan said calmly, "Although we are not in the same place, we are under the same sky. I have also rescued those immortal cultivation books. You two should remember to read them more and pay more attention to them. When the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth reaches a certain level, you can turn to the immortal cultivation path."

After a pause, Gu Dan looked at Fu Suxin and said, "You have a high talent for martial arts, but now is not the era of martial arts. It is not worth it to continue to climb up. However, I can still lend you a helping hand."

As he spoke, a green light floated into Fu Suxin's body.

Ruomu, who was promoted through the Qingmu Huasheng Jue, naturally also had his abilities improved.

"This vitality can help you break through to the Grandmaster level. Remember to use your Qi and blood to refine your five internal organs. At this point, you can stop practicing martial arts. It's a good time for the immortal path to come. If you switch to the immortal path, you may be able to achieve great things."

After saying this, Gu Dan looked at Zhuang Yun again and said, "Your talent in martial arts is average, so you don't have to think about becoming a grandmaster. Just study the immortal classics honestly. Even if you are dissatisfied with the immortals, you can scold them in person when you have achieved success in your cultivation in the future."

The two of them were a little confused after listening to Gu Dan's farewell words that seemed like they would never meet again.

For Zhuang Yun, since his parents passed away, Gu Dan has been the person closest to him, and he has truly watched him grow up step by step.

No matter where he ran to, as long as he returned to Ping'an Village, he could see Gu Dan again, and he had a unique sense of security that he still had the support of his elders at home.

But now that Gu Dan has made it clear that he wants to leave, can he still stop him?

Fu Suxin clearly got what she wanted. Her efforts over the years also received guidance from Gu Dan. However, she was reluctant to leave. However, her relationship with Gu Dan was not as close as Zhuang Yun's, so she couldn't say much.

"Uncle Kong, do we have to go?"

Zhuang Yun asked reluctantly.

"I have made up my mind."

Gu Dan nodded affirmatively.

Since this earthquake has affected such a wide area, it is likely that the Xia Dynasty will not be spared. He will definitely go back to take a look.

Moreover, Mo Qiu's body was still in the White Lotus inheritance place. Even if he had the Qingmu Liquid to keep him alive, what if the earthquake caused the mountain to collapse and buried him directly? He had to go back for both emotional and logical reasons.

"Then we"

“Don’t act like a daughter. Although the world is vast, it doesn’t mean we will never see each other again. Practice hard. You still have a lot of life left. When the immortal world reappears, you may meet again.”

Gu Dan patted Zhuang Yun on the shoulder and warned him.

".yes"

Zhuang Yun's eyes were slightly dim and watery, and he could only nod.

"By the way, among the people in Ping'an Village, there is a little girl named Li Mulan. Remember to take good care of her and send them to live safely somewhere else."

Gu Dan took one last deep look in the direction of the former Ping'an Village.

Where can we find true peace in this world? If we try to escape from the world, we will always end up with disasters instead.

"Goodbye."

After the last two words were spoken, Gu Dan disappeared on the spot without any delay.

After sixty-three years, he is returning to the Xia Dynasty.

I just don’t know what the Xia Dynasty is like today after sixty-three years.
